The First Fully Automated Rapid DNA System. Now with NDIS Approved Chemistry!

The RapidHIT System is the first fully automated sample-to-answer system for STR-based human identification. Now samples processed using our GlobalFiler® Express cartridges can be uploaded to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).

The self-contained human identification system produces standardized DNA profiles from buccal swabs and other human samples in under 2 hours. The RapidHIT System uses gold standard sample extraction, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) technologies. Requiring only three minutes of hands-on time to generate one through seven DNA profiles, the easy to use system fits into any forensic workflow. The output from the system is compatible with local, state and national human identification databases.

>90%+ full concordant profiles for expanded core CODIS loci

100% concordance with NIST SRM 2391c standard

Run 1 sample, 7 samples, or anything in between

Process any swab type or crime scene samples directly in the cartridge

Requires on ~3 minutes of hands-on time, less than 2 hours time to results

High Sensitivity and Accuracy

Blood: 100% concordance for DNA levels equivalent to as low as 1.0 μL of blood on both cotton swab and FTA paper.

Figure 1. Concordance evaluated using a series of cheek swipe reference samples from 2 donors, including 1 cheek touch, 1 swipe, 2 swipes, 5 swipes, 10 swipes and 20 swipes of the cheek (N = 3). A total of 36 swabs were tested. Full profile concordance was measured for all swabs.

Figure 2. Concordance evaluated using a series of blood reference samples of 20 μL, 10 μL, 5 μL, 2.5 μL and 1.0 μL on both cotton swab and FTA paper (N = 3). A total of 30 samples were tested. Full profile concordance was measured for all samples.
